2025–26 Ranji Trophy
The 2025–26 Ranji Trophy is the 91st season of the Ranji Trophy, the premier first-class cricket tournament in India. It is taking place from 15 October 2025 to 28 February 2026. Vidarbha are the defending champions, having beaten Kerala in the final.
Format
The teams are divided into two categories: one named the Elite category, which has 32 teams split into four groups, and one called the Plate category, which has 6 teams in one group. The Elite category teams play each other once, with the top two teams from each group qualifying for the quarter-finals. In the Plate Group, teams also play each other once, but the top four teams qualify for the plate group knockouts, with the bottom two teams playing for the fifth and sixth positions, and another playoff for the third and fourth positions with the semi-final losers. The Plate winner will be promoted to the Elite group for the next season, 2025–26, while the bottom team of all four Elite groups combined, factoring in both points and the quotient, will be relegated to the Plate group.| Match result | Points earned |
